kòng

to control

to accuse; to charge; to sue; to invert a container to empty it; (suffix) (slang) buff; enthusiast; devotee; -phile or -philia

hand (扌) + empty/sky (空) = control

The hand radical anchors the physical act of grasping or holding something in check. 空 mainly gives the sound kòng; the meaning of controlling, emptying, or directing comes from the hand.
